Cincinnati Cyclones News Release
Cincinnati, Ohio - The Cincinnati Cyclones today announced a secondary affiliation with the National Hockey League's San Jose Sharks for the 2002-03 season.
"We are thrilled to have made a connection with the San Jose Sharks organization," said Cyclones President/COO Pat Pylypuik. "Throughout hockey circles, the Sharks are considered to have one of the best group of young prospects and we look forward to having the opportunity to develop some of those players in a Cyclones sweater."

San Jose also has formal affiliations with the American Hockey League's Cleveland Barons and the ECHL's Richmond (Va.) Renegades.
